"IoT of Things" requires close coordination at four levels

The internet of Things is called "The network of Objects and objects". In simple terms, the IoT industry chain can be divided into four levels: the first is the sensor technology industry, including sensors, RFID, two-dimensional code, GPS positioning, geographic information recognition system and multimedia information and other multimedia acquisition technology related fields, followed by the network transmission industry, that is, the use of a variety of wired and wireless transmission technology, exchange technology, Networking technology and gateway technology, such as the transport of information industry; The third part is the Intelligent information processing technology industry, namely uses the cloud computing, the data mining, the fuzzy recognition and so on each kind of intelligent computing technology; Finally, the Internet applications industry, not only Internet services, but also the focus of the Internet applications such as Smart grid, Intelligent transportation, intelligent logistics, intelligent home, environment and safety detection, industrial and automation control, medical health, fine farming, finance and services, defense and military.

Although the Grand Blueprint of IoT industry provides the above four areas of business opportunities, but, industry maturity needs the above four levels of close cooperation, any one link missing or immature, it is difficult to truly achieve "internet of things."

At present, the world's Internet of things are basically in the technical research and experimental stage: The United States, Japan, Korea, the European Union and other countries are investing heavily in in-depth research, and launched a network of things based on the "wisdom of the Earth", "U-japan", "U-korea", "Things Networking Action Plan" and other national regional strategic planning.

Throughout the global Internet of Things, foreign and Internet applications and terminals closely related to the development of the sensing industry faster, for example, the foreign sensing industry, the basic key technology RFID (radio Frequency Identification technology), after nearly two years of vigorous promotion, especially logistics, finance, security and other fields of application, is in the rapid maturity.

2012, the global RFID market is expected to reach more than 20 billion U.S. dollars. The application of RFID technology in Europe and America is more mature. Among them, Philips, Siemens and other semiconductor manufacturers have a basic monopoly of the RFID chip market; IBM, HP, Microsoft and other international giants have seized the RFID middleware, system integration research advantageous position; alien, Intermec, symbol and other companies to provide RFID tags, readers and other products and equipment. At present, the international basic form of RFID five standards organizations, representing the international community or the interests of different countries.

In addition, foreign intelligent information processing industry started earlier. such as IBM2009 years put forward the "wisdom of the Earth" strategy, vigorously promote the global "cloud computing" and so on. In the application of IoT, the innovative business model of Internet and technology, which is represented by Silicon Valley in the United States, has also contributed to the development of the IoT industry.

Different from the foreign market development model, domestic mainly rely on policy-driven, through the government guidance funds to encourage the telecom operators to invest in the model to develop, such as the National Development and Reform Commission announced 8 billion yuan as the next generation of Internet development special funds.

In the IPv4 era, the major developed countries in Europe and the United States occupy a very rich address resources, the development of foreign Internet is much more abundant than China. Entering the IPv6 era, if China can lead, then China will undoubtedly be able to stand on the forefront of the next generation of Internet.

At present, in addition to the active investment in IPV6 network construction, and has Huawei, ZTE and other domestic network equipment providers with core technology and competitiveness of product support; in the sensing industry and intelligent information processing, most of the domestic equipment manufacturers and software and hardware companies are subject to the lack of core technology in foreign countries.

With China's five years of network transmission in the field of all upgrades from IPv4 to IPv6, as well as the sensing technology industry, intelligent Information Processing industry, the Internet industry and all walks of life on the use of things networking technology, the Chinese Internet industry will gradually brew innovative business models and business opportunities.
